Police are searching for a driver who fled the scene after hitting an elderly pedestrian in Mountain View.

The hit-and-run accident was reported just before 6 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Rengstorff and San Luis Avenues. The 77-year-old woman, a Mountain View resident, was transported to a hospital for moderate injuries. Police said the victim is in stable condition and is expected to survive.

Police said the woman was crossing Rengstorff Avenue when a vehicle traveling north struck her and continued without stopping.

The Mountain View Police Department is seeking the public's help in locating both the vehicle and driver that fled the scene.

Police said the suspect's vehicle is a mid to late 1990s silver Honda Accord. The vehicle may also have damage on the front and left side, and may be missing the driver side rear view mirror, police said.

"This is an extremely unfortunate incident and we are very concerned about the status of the pedestrian," said Lt. Oselinsky. "Right now, our goal is to do everything we can to locate the driver of this vehicle."
